Privacy Statement

Matthews is committed to protecting the personal information provided to us by our clients and prospective clients. This section provides further details on how we collect, share, transfer and protect personal information provided to us by our clients and prospective clients.

Collecting Information
Matthews may collect non-public personal information about you on RFPs, questionnaires, and other forms we receive from you, including those submitted to us via this website, as well as from personal contacts such as correspondence, e-mail, telephone calls, or meetings. We may also receive information about you from third parties, such as your accountants, lawyers, financial consultants, and other service providers.

It also is possible to receive information from web browsers and apps regarding certain of your online activities using cookies, or other common tracking technologies. Some web browsers and other applications may provide a Do Not Track preference setting. When a user turns on a tracking preference, the browser or application may send a message to web sites requesting that they do or do not track the user. Currently we take no actions in response to any Do Not Track settings or messages.

Usage and Information Sharing

Matthews does not disclose nonpublic personal information about past, current or prospective clients to any unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, to facilitate our own client servicing, marketing, compliance and risk management, information regarding clients and prospective clients may be shared broadly among Matthews and our affiliates. Further, we may disclose information, including nonpublic personal information, as necessary or helpful to effect transactions, administer accounts and risk management.

Matthews may also disclose your information as required or permitted by law or in response to a regulator request.

Information Security

We use technical, administrative, and procedural measures in an attempt to safeguard your personal and other information from unauthorized access or use. No such measure is ever 100% effective though, so we do not guarantee that your personal and other information will be secure from theft, loss, or unauthorized access or use, and we make no representation as to the reasonableness, efficacy, or appropriateness of the measures we use to safeguard such information.

Transfer of data to other countries

Any information you provide to Matthews through use of this website may be stored and processed, transferred between, and accessed from the US and Canada and other countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal information as the one in which you reside. Regardless of where your personal information is stored or accessed, we will handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
